Lidge to the DL

Lidge won't make Opening Day roster after Phillies put closer on DL
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Phillies closer Brad Lidge will start the regular season on the 15-day disabled list while he rehabilitates his knee following arthroscopic surgery last month.
Lidge has resumed pitching in minor league games, but the Phillies decided the right-hander couldn't get enough innings in before spring training ends.
Tom Gordon will fill in at closer for the 31-year-old Lidge, who is eligible to come off the DL on April 5.
"It's not what I wanted," Lidge said. "I was trying to get ready as fast as possible and unfortunately in the end my arm strength is behind. I was trying basically to cram four weeks of spring training into a little over a week."
